4. Sigma-Aldrich Cell Signalling Pathfinders
http://www.sigmaaldrich.com/Area_of_Interest/Life_Science/PathFinder.html
PathFinder, a new online resource offers a free and comprehensive collection of interactive biological pathways. Developed in conjunction with bioinformatics specialist Protein Lounge, PathFinder will be initially launched with nearly 20 pathways. Once completed, the application will contain over 100 signal transduction pathways.
The online tool provides links to appropriate products from Sigma-Aldrich's portfolio that includes small molecules, antibodies, enzymes, QPCR components and siRNAis for gene knockdown. Additional support is provided through links to detailed product descriptions and technical articles.
PathFinder presents biological signalling and metabolic pathways in an interactive, graphical representation of the cell. Researchers can now use the resource to explore the relationships between different pathway components.
